This drug combination is intended to neutralize and reduce stomach acid. The dose of the drug is usually 2 × 1 and combined with an anti-acid stomach medicine. Prof. Ari said that there was a Gerd patient who claimed that if he did not take the medicine again, he experienced a recurrence. He was worried that stomach acid drugs would make him addicted.
Explained by Prof. Ari, stomach acid drugs do not cause dependence like sedatives or sleeping pills. If symptoms are felt to be still there after taking the medicine, it could be because the dose given is not optimal. Or it could be because it is not accompanied by lifestyle changes such as stress, smoking, or eating spicy, sour, cheese, chocolate, and other abstinence foods.
High stomach acid not only causes a burning sensation in the chest or a bitter mouth. The patient also feels restless, making it difficult to sleep.

The results show that the majority of sufferers feel a negative impact on their quality of life. Some things that are affected by heartburn are physical quality, sleep quality, productivity, emotional condition, and social function. If it continues to be ignored, this disease risks triggering complications of the disease in the future. (See the video: Five Houses of Landslides Dragged Down in Palopo)
Gerd can also be caused by many factors, such as pressure in the stomach of pregnant women which increases with the growth of the fetus causing backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus, smoking which triggers damage to the mucous membranes, increases acid secretion, and weakens the lower esophageal sphincter.
